>>323464459There is absolutely nothing in-game which describes who her parents are, and the item descriptions + end credits call her Crossbreed (end credits even says Dragon Crossbreed so that's why people think 1. of the parents is Seath)

>>323464878Tho I would like to point out one of the popular fan theories, which claims her mother to be Velka. This would explain the fluff/feathers.

Pic related is a statue which is located in the painted world (the one that spins after you hit the lever), clearly showing an older female with a young child who also looks female.

I dont think there is any proof that these statues actually are supposed to be Velka and Priscilla but its a good guess.

Also the "motherly figure with a child" theme is popular in the statues around the game, and if you pay attention you can see the child actually growing up the further ingame you get. The first statue you see is a mother holding a baby.

>>323465351Heard something like that before. There are also other references to Velka. Those crow/human enemies and you also find Velkas rapier in the painted world. Then there's also the ocult ember which some associate with Velka.

>>323466118Fucking Miyazaki came up with this character? Christ no wonder so many people have a boner for her then. She's not even a special character, she looks like she belongs in one of those monster girl harems or light novel where she's the overpowered MC's love interest or source of their powers. Why is waifushit in a game like DARK SOULS in the first place?

>>323467713Because gamers,anon.only people who have never had sex or a healthy female with anyone not their mom or aunt or whatever would throw so much bullshit around a character like this thus, she's waifubait to me.

Support for Gwynevere being the mother>She's massive enough to take dragon dick, illusion fags can fuck off there is no reason Gwyndolin would commission a massive sofa.>She is the daughter of Gwyn, Seath was made Duke; it is not beyond lordly custom for kings to send their daughters out like gifts to other high status lords.>Priscilla was born with powers that were a threat to lords yet she was not destroyed. Instead she was sent into the painting and protected by an elite guard. If She was indeed Gwyn's Grandaughter, this would justify her continued existence as he would inevitably love her.

Support for Velkia being the mother

>The statue may represent Pricilla and her mother, whome resembles no one seen in game>Velka has artifacts all over the painted world, most implying Velka was planning to stage a coop against the other gods.>Her powers are implied to be of a dark nature, which is exactly the kind of power Priscilla has, the life hunt.>The fluffy might be feathers instead of fur, and it's a fan belief that Velka takes the form of a giant raven.

>Quelana has been sitting outside of Izalith's front door for the past 1000 years>She's been pretending to absolve herself of her sins when in reality she's just too frightened to ever set foot in Izalith again>According to Eingyi the Fair Lady (and probably Quelaag) would be ecstatic to see their lost sister again but she doesn't know that and so keeps herself hidden

>>323476269I think they're getting better at it. Iosefka is a good example. When you intrude into her clinic she won't actually attack you unless you get too close. She'll even offer to keep the arrangement you two share if you don't intrude.

Really though DaS1 already had it with the Priscilla encounter. She doesn't really want you there and will offer for you to just leave. They should've kept the Quelaag dialogue where she tells you that outsiders aren't permitted in so that when you do try to get past her you know why she's attacking you.

>>323476964Ornstein wouldn't have turned, he's mandated to guard Gwynevere's illusion. Which is really shitty by the way. Ornstein has been Gwyn's knight from the beginning. Fought the Dragons and helped Gwyn win his throne. And his reward for all his service is to be stuck guarding a hologram

>>323476964For what, people you could have talked into not fighting you? I don't think Ornstein would have ever backed down, his job was to allow only a worthy undead to receive the Lord Vessel by guarding it with his life.

>>323475082>but she doesn't know that and so keeps herself hiddenwhat's more tragic is that she probably feels guilty about surviving and is very aware of the fates of the Fair Lady and Quelaag and cannot bring herself to face them.

Still Quelana will always be my mentorfu. I love the way she is surprised but also relieved when you come back to see her.

>>323478002>My question still stands except swap homo with heterosexual women.Well, I certainly don't obsess over man ass, but you have to admit that dicks are objectively more interesting than boobs. They're not just lumps of flesh used for feeding kids.

>>323478503Yes because physicality are more male traits although there are traits most women find physically attractive. But emotional traits are more a feminine thing so there are more emotional things they look for. The only problem is that it's harder to design "likes to listen and understand" in a character design.

I killed her for her weapons in my current playthrough because I'd never used them before. Dagger is fun, probably the only dagger I'd ever consider using. Scythe is stronk but I don't think there are many enemies susceptible to bleed that won't just die before their bleed bar fills (only assdemons come to mind), plus I have to use the bloodshield and bloodbite ring for it to not kill me in 2-3 hits.

I don't do PvP, is the bleed buildup from these weapons useful against a player who isn't using bleed-resistant shit? Or will it kill them too fast?

>>323480497The Age of Dark is at the front door and Humanity is at a premium. Most humans are scrounging and killing each other just to get one. I don't think anyone would ever consider the possibility that there's an Undead walking around with 99 of them let alone just asking for one.

In the canon sense you would, the chosen undead has a high resistance to going Hollow but would realistically be chugging down humanities to keep himself sane like all the other Undead that are trying to stop their hollowing.

>>323482539I wasnt there to discuss whether the theory was correct or not, and was >You're taking this too seriously, it's a fucking souls game where at face value there is no lore and everything else is speculationproper discussiong, asstwat? I literally just wanted him to back up the claim by showing the source, can you not read?

>>323462951>You did spare her, right /v/ ? She wasn't bothering anyone and her land was peaceful, its inhabitants kind.I'm going to cut off her fucking tail, then use it to finish her. Fuck you and fuck those wheel skeletons and fuck those harpy sluts.

>>323483354>"she" is trying to say women don't have sexual interest in male parts which isn't true.I have never said that. I said that women, as a group, don't have an obsession over a single boring part of the male body, like men do with boobs.

>>323483930>>323483958>ass>torso>dick>anything like the obsession that men have over boobsThat's it, I give up. You people can stay delusional.>>323484079>And anyway, why do you care?Because no matter what fandom I join, I have to constantly endure men pushing the characters' boobs in my face. It's getting very annoying and I can't stand it anymore.

>>323484371You sound like you have some personal issues you need to work out, like an inadequacy perhaps. Any adult wouldn't really give a shit about this stuff, contrary to what you see on /v/. Good luck.

>Stay delusional You most have a low libido, but this is also likely bait.

>Every fandom I join people talk about boobs>fandom

This is REALLY baity or you are total cancer?

You want to hear it? Evolution and natural selection happened. Men sexually select females who built up excessive breast tissue as a response to their sex hormones at some point after we became fully bipedal. The reason is hypothesized that breasts resembled butt cheeks, as the fatty excessive build up of fat on our asses had already been integrated into the mating and selection habits of simians. This mimickery was likely a result of humans starting to mate face to face more often than behind as a form of social bonding.

TL;DR men started fucking woman with a chest ass mutation which helped developed our social skills as a species.

So men obsess over tits because tits are attractive, I'm sorry you're so retarded you can't comprehend it. It isn't weird because countless other animals do it, like the peacock.

>>323484371I kind of understand, I'm more of a demoflat and I find overly huge breasts gross, but I don't let it bother me.And I don't let it bother me when women obsess over male characters and post their gay fanart all over the place.Again, why do you care? I see lots of stuff I dislike on the internet, but it's ok, other people like it and I can just ignore it.

>>323485485>And I don't let it bother me when women obsess over male characters and post their gay fanart all over the place.Maybe because this happens only in closed communities, and not all over the internet...

>>323486106Strength weapons are typically slower and use more stamina per swing but hit very hard and tend to stagger enemies for a while. Dex weapons are much faster and don't use as much stamina per swing and combo much easier but don't do as much damage or stagger as STR weapons

>>323486106With dex weapons you have to hit people 80 times to kill them and they are supposed to be good at counter damage and parrying/backstabs, dont expect to break your enemy's poise!

With str weapons you hit people like 3 times and they fall over dead, and they actually are good at parrying/backstabs (but not counter damage), poise break happens when you glance at your enemy with a str weapon equipped, you dont even need to swing.

>>323486818You know you can interact with it because if you walk up to it without the doll it'll give a prompt that it can't be interacted with instead of just sitting there being a painting. If you mean as a character, you didn't know, you just touched the painting and it drew you in

>A ominous shadowy aura and altered features as you approach max humanity>possibly some minor perks to this as well.>A Titanite demon with two legs as a boss in NG +>A lost izailith on fire and full of demons.>An actual bossfight with the bed of Chaos, or perhaps a way to show that it births demons.>More enemy diversity in Seath's place.>Nito should have been harder.>Dragon ending through joining the dragon covenant.>All the cut content regarding the supposed Underworld up that was converted to Ash Lake.

There are exceptions to the rule, but Dex weapons are typically fast and focus on thrust and slash damage as well as bleed.

Spears are dex, curved swords are dex, ect.

Strength are slow weapons like maces, axes and ultra great swords, do high damage and poise damage at the cost of speed. They typically do Regular and Strike damage, the later being the least resisted by armor.

Then there is quality which consists of straightswords and halberds. these are c/c scaling weapons meaning you invest in both Dex and Strength to get the most.

Plenty of exceptions though, Like Gargoyle Axe, which is a lot like regular axes in strength and speed but scales with Dex for some reason.

>Ending>Either kill yourself in a fire to increase the length of the age of fire by just a little bit.>Leave, become dark lord and possibly start killing and consuming humanity from whoever is left the in the era to become the a new 4king.

No, you join the dragon covenant and then become a full dragon who goes on attempting to remove the disparity.

People have argued that the game should have ended the moment you maxed out the dragon cove, with you in the ash lake with stone dragon.

At least DaS II implied all endings are canon, That one chosen undead became Dark lurker, the other died in the first flame and another became a dragon.

I have successfully used it against invaders before oolacile. If you attack really agressively most people will panic and die in a few hits to bleed.The self bleed is only a problem if the opponent has lots of hp or if you forget to check bleed level when attacking. All in all it is pretty much a cheat weapon against lower level invaders.That is my impression, but maybe i'm just in a shit region.

>>323471347>>She is the daughter of Gwyn, Seath was made Duke; it is not beyond lordly custom for kings to send their daughters out like gifts to other high status lords.Royal family never goes to small dukes. They are meant to cement royal marriages.

>>323508401I don't think dexfags should have even better parrying, but I think that only light shields should have the current parry and heavier, metal shields should have a way slower more calculated parry.

>>323509026I think backstabs are fine as they were in Bloodborne. The charge attack BS system finally perfected it, but parrying was still way too strong. A lot of Bloodborne's bosses and the PvP would be more intense and interesting if they couldn't be parried.

Yeah I spared her, up until I got to gwyn and it was time to clean house so I didnt miss any souls or equipmentthis cutie was the only one I fully spared, but that's just cause I felt bad for her the first timekilled her every subsequent run though

>>323467394Miyazaki said in the DaS Design Works interview that he has a thing for big women. He approved of Priscilla's design but when he saw Gwynevere's he was going to request it be redone into something more respectable but the artist who drew titty monster Gwynevere was so proud of his design that Miyazaki didn't have the heart to say no to him.

>>323468198Probably not, it's better to just come to your own conclusions nowadays since most fanboys are set in their perceptions and aren't receptive to any kind of new ideas. It doesn't help that whatever Vaati says is taken as fact and that he was confirmed to just steal theories from /vg/ without any research of his own to back it up. Plus any new ideas someone might have get shot down as headcanon with no chance of being considered plausible because muh Vaati hasn't plagiarised a video on it. It's still fun to speculate though.

>>323469561Like 2, it's set in and around Lordran but with a massive time jump and most of the architecture being gone. So much so that again, no one remembers it's even called Lordran. It's confirmed to be set after 2 though, but there isn't as big of a gap between 2 and 3 as there is 1 and 2 due to the fact that Drakebloods from 2 are still alive and kicking and that some enemies have the Drangleic crest on them.

>>323477168After DaS3 From will never be making games for Sony and Bamco again. They got bought in 2014 remember? Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 were the last games they had prior contracts for and once those are out they'll move fully to Kadokawa.

I mean you can watch Plague of Gripes argue about the lore for 40+ hours. He goes over just about every interpretation, even the uncommon ones.

But it's honestly best to come up with your own. It's always been that way since DeS with you filling in the blanks. Taking the words of people like Vaati or Plague as the laws is really limiting to your own experience.

All that matters is what Miyazaki has said and what the game presents.

>>323527585It's been in development since DaS2 released so hopefully it'll turn out ok. I know that 3 has two directors but that the second one is just there too handle all the technical and human resources stuff while Miyazaki just focused on the actual game stuff while also being company president and directing Bloodborne. From what they've said in interviews It's basically Miyazaki says what he wants and the other guy does whatever is in his power to get it done so Miyazaki can handle his other duties while also directing the game.

>>323527585And I doubt having a congo-line of souls sequels is going to do anything but creatively bankrupt miyazaki and bore the players with stagnant gameplay. Nor do I think that his vision is really all that grand.

Based on what I played in the network test, he's basically just making a DS sequel without any of the bizarre design decisions of the second game. I doubt you can really be grandiose when you're just making Dark Souls 2 electric bongoaloo.

>>323528058Playing Das1 reincarnate on the bloodborne engine is an odd combo. I hope they actually make shield/armor/poise useful again. Will the fast paced bloodborne engine even allow slower/heavier weapons?

Well for one swinging a full r2-charge with the kirkhammer is the most-boner inducing impact I've experienced since mallet-popping in chivalry.

two, look up footage if you want animation speed and combat speed. I found the greatsword to swing with lovely weight and everything had the impact my murder-boner needed.

Shields worked just fine but because you couldn't really adjust armor or view stats, I can't really tell you ins and outs of armor and poise values. Only that I could trade with the greatsword without any real issue.

And fast-paced bloodborne engine? Since when did a game engine prevent a certain game-feel?

I mean I thought power-stance was never as viable as they wanted it to be so I wouldn't mourn the loss, but I don't know if the system is wholly removed. Hexes would be nice since they're just another magic system, but I felt that they were way too strong in DS2. Basically trivialized everything even though climax invading was fun.

I was mostly referring to Soul Memory and possibility stats like adp. Also the encounters just felt a lot less like gangs throw everywhere and closer to DS1.

>>323527585But miyazaki now has more experience with bamco than he did with DaS1. Why wouldn't he manage his time better now?And he is the president or something of fromsoft now unlike back during das1.

>>323474124If she was the kid of any other dragon, she wouldn't be fluffy. Seath was the only dragon to lack scales. Every other dragon in the game has scales, from kalameet to everlasting. Even the wyverns. Seath is also a very bright color, not matching the other dragons either. If any other dragon had banged gwynevere/velka/whoever, priscilla would almost be guaranteed to have dark hair.

If we consider that priscilla could have been an experiment to the end of making "Scales of immortality" and that it ended up with next to no success because she has no scales to speak of, there really isn't anyone that makes sense for the father besides seath.

No other dragon would even be able to get near anor londo anyways.

There are just too many issue's with another dragon being the father. Seathe is the only sure bet.

>>323529721>I agree that Hexes should have some variability. Sorceries are pure damage and gimmick spells, miracles are defensive and fire is aoe damage.>I just like dark damage because I'd rather be a dark paladin than a holy one.Grow up.

>>323529721>Power stance could have been improved upon, but It worked well enough with katanas and other weapons I don't see why they'd scrap it.

Power stance railroaded builds too much in my opinion and in pvp single weapons two-handed were still too dominate. If it comes in again I think it'll probably be for weapons like the Legion Scimtars where they're similar to trick weapons in bloodborne (your moveset changes with the push of a button).

>Hexes were an improvement above all of them, from powerful simple nukes to utility.

That was there core issue imo, simply too much bang for your buck. I know that Souls is missing effective dots. I always wanted to be that invader that threw like six dots on a guy with each of them fucking his shit up before running away.

>If we consider that priscilla could have been an experiment to the end of making "Scales of immortality" and that it ended up with next to no success because she has no scales to speak of, there really isn't anyone that makes sense for the father besides seath.

Well I think the only problem with her being created to solve the scale issue is that she really doesn't fit the bill.

All her lifehunt shit and 'danger to the gods' shit seems like she was built as a weapon first.

>>323530369Experiments can fail and have entirely unexpected results. Like i pointed out, she is likely an experiment, but without any scales to speak of, she's a failed one. As well, the child of a dragon and lord could easily have a power like the life hunt. Especially if the velka thing is true.

I've been in the mood for another Dark Souls run. I kinda wanna do something interesting. I was thinking Bows + FAI or something like that. I'll probably use the Composite Bow until I get the Darkmoon one, or is FAI Composite better?
